Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Final cortical cell number was positively related to fruit diameter.
- Observation Golden Delicious differed from smaller cultivars in early cell production rate and duration.
- Observation Four core cell cycle genes were cloned from Gala.
- Observation Md;CDKB1, Md;CycB2 and Md;CycD3 showed phase-specific transcript expression.
- Association Early fruit transcript accumulation was closely related to cell production dynamics.
- Observation Md;CycD3 transcripts were more than twice as abundant in Golden Delicious as in Hopa.
- Observation Grand Gala fruit was 40% larger because of larger cells.
- Observation Grand Gala cortical cells had larger nuclei with four ploidy levels.
